They say the tires are designed to reduce damage and are made for golf courses. Do they still cause a lot of damage, do you think? Any experiences?
I had a large maple removed last fall ,they cut the tree from their bucket truck and any limbs that fell onto the lawn they removed just as soon as they fell,most were lowered from the top of the tree with a rope system,tied and cut. Then when they were done they fixed any spots that were made during the removal process they raked the spot where the trunk was and seeded with a Quality blend ,matching the grass already in my yard . I thought this was the way it’s done . I would expect no less as I was and you are the boss

Any heavy equipment will cause compaction especially if the lawn is wet. You can supply 3/4 inch plywood panels for them to drive over.
I’d assess the damage afterward and do what is necessary: the least would be aerate the lawn to reduce the compaction. The most would be remove the damaged turf, fluff the soil (reduce the compaction) and return or replace the sod. I wouldn’t expect the company to do the repairs.
